Not only the loss of what was most likely a very wanted child, but add to that the hormones that happen anyway when a woman is pregnant and/or after she has had a child. You would have the same release of hormones following the miscarriage that you would have if you delivered a baby. It's like postpartum depression, and you don't even have a new baby to love. I'm sure that people don't even know about this until they're unfortunate enough to have a miscarriage. As with many things in life, no one talks about it, so most people might think, "Well, what's the problem? Get on with it." So, Klein probably had only a vague idea at the time about how terrible Joni must have been feeling and maybe she was beating herself up over her feelings too, so she might have stifled them, thinking she was being weak. I have absolutely no idea what might have gone on there, and, of course, no one really knows for sure what others are feeling or how they'll react to things. I have never had a miscarriage but someone very close to me did and it was only then that I had a clue about how badly it can affect people. Even the nurses at the hospital where my friend was didn't seem terribly sympathetic and behaved as if it were an everyday occurance, a small thing, so let's just get on with it. I realize that how my friend was feeling at the time might have coloured her perception of how the nurses were treating things but for someone just to offer a kind word and a little sympathy might have helped. I'm not blaming either Joni or Klein for this. It's probably one of those things that only become clear in retrospect. >________________________________ > From: Lori Fye >To: joni@smoe.org >Sent: Sunday, June 17, 2012 4:31:56 PM >Subject: Re: Shawn Colvin's Memoir/Klein > >> Joni has just had a miscarriage when Klein was booked to >> work in England so was committed to that contract while >> needing to be with Joni but couldn't get out of it. > >See now ...
